Hoppity IPA Cocktail


  • Author: Blaise Malandra

Description

Hops, a.k.a your favorite IPA, adds up to deliciousness in our Hoppity Easter-time cocktail.


Ingredients

Scale

For the strawberry syrup:

  • 2 lb strawberries
  • 2 cups raw sugar
  • 5 dashes Angostura bitters

Instructions

  1. Place bitters, Cynar, and sfumato in tall cocktail glass first.
  2. Add strawberry syrup, then fill 3/4s of the glass with ice.
  3. Finally, top with your favorite hazy IPA.
  4. Using a mixing tin, roll the drink back and forth twice and enjoy.

For the strawberry syrup:

  1. In a mason jar, muddle together strawberries, raw sugar and bitters.
  2. Let the mash macerate for about 15 minutes, then combine with 2 cups of water in a pot, and bring to a light simmer.
  3. Reduce until you’ve reached a nice viscosity, strain with a coffee filter in a mesh strainer (or just double strain with mesh).
  4. Date and store in a fridge for a few weeks. You can add an ounce or two of vodka to your syrup to extend its shelf life a bit as well.
